Alpha Crux?
Let me guess. Same core. Pearlized or "hybrid" coverstock. Different color. Smells different too.
So I saw Strom has new balls coming out in February and March including Alpha Crux. Any thoughts?
Sure seems these companies keep cranking out new balls. I understand the business side, but wow, they sure crank them out.

Actually at least this one does have a different cover. It is a solid

"any thoughts" on the ball? or how companies are producing balls left and right.
if it's the ball.. no thoughts cause it's not released yet.
If it's companies producing balls, it's nothing new. Balls are being pumped out and the new ones will always hook more than the last release most times. Plus, balls are getting stronger while conditions most bowl on doesn't change. Also, the label "HYBRID" cover.... that's just a marketing thing.
If nothing else the Phaze is a cool looking ball, I'm sure that's good for some strikes !
Have to say the fight may be the next ball in my bag. From the numbers at least I don't have anything like it.

Can't make money if you don't crank out 20 new balls a year. Only thing with Storm is will they run out of food smells for their balls?
Well I have to say I haven't thrown Storm in a long time and while I agree all the companies crank out too much stuff - especially balls in their own line-up that overlap with each other - the Pitch Blue sounds like a winner to me. And the giant core in the Fight is intriguing too.
I was looking at the Roto Grip Hectic but my PSO suggested waiting for the Fight instead. He told me with my bowling it would be a better match. So looks like I will be getting the Fight ....on another note he lost the use of his thumb beveller due to a broken wire in the cord I offered to take it home remove the broken section of wire and re solder the connections. Gave him back a working sander. He wanted to pay me but I refused bet I get a real good price on the fight. Helps to have friends in the industry.
